In the 70's or 80's I had a recipe for using oatmeal as a side dish,
like rice. It involved tossing the oatmeal with something, maybe egg,
sauteeing it briefly and then adding some amount of broth or other
liquid. Does anyone have this recipe or technique?

Indeed!
I was shuddering at the thought.

I put it in meatloaf once and am still creeped out by the results.

Cookies? Hot cereal? Cold cereal? Snack bars?

You bet. Main and side dishes? Not so much.

Where's your spirit of adventure? And BTW, I found the recipe by
searching for oatmeal pilaf. You toss 1 3/4 C. old fashioned oats with
an egg (or two egg whites). Sautee your veggies (onion, pepper,
whatever) then add the oatmeal and sautee til it is dry and separate.
Add 3/4 C. chicken broth and any herbs or spices you want and cook til
the liquid is absorbed.

Gag! I tried it twice, and both attempts yielded a meatloaf with a gooey,
sliimy texture. It almost put me off meatloaf altogether for a while.

Absolutely!

This might be an interesting experiment, given the instructions you wrote.

You're addressing me, Wayne Boatwright. Stop that.

..
Not exactly side dishes, but:

I make a kind of Mexican soup with green peppers, tomatoes and chicken
broth, which starts with pan-toasted oatmeal as the thickener.

And today's Boston Globe had a recipe for (I believe) trout coated with
processer-ground oats.

This might be something that kasha lovers would appreciate; the cooking
technique appears to be very close to the way kasha varnishkas is prepared.

(I happen *not* to be a kasha lover.)
